Praise the Lord for the last two days. On Saturday, 11 local saints and two saints from Riverside participated with the six trainees in the community door-knocking. We went out in eight groups and 26 Bibles were given out. One Buddhist man and one Muslim man prayed to receive the Lord.

On Lord’s Day evening, we had dinner with some of the local saints at a restaurant. One student contact came with his parents who are genuine believers and we had good fellowship with them. We also transferred the contact information of all positive contacts to the local saints. May the Lord gain some remaining fruits from both MSJC and Menifee community for establishing a lampstand here in the city of Menifee.

Praise the Lord! Last night eight new students from SSU and SRJC attended the college meeting; two of them came for their second time. We continued our fellowship from last Friday about pray-reading verses as our eating, drinking, and breathing the Spirit and the life in the Word of God. The students started functioning in the meeting, and one sister shared her experience about feeding on the word in morning revival time. One new student asked about the word “tabernacle” in John 1:14, and she was touched by its meaning of Christ making His dwelling place among men. The meeting was finished by singing and blending, and the students were so thankful to be here.

We are also encouraged that even toward the end of the two-week gospel trip, there are still many students hungry for the Word while we were passing out Bibles. One student got the Recovery Version and had a Bible study with us immediately. She was very open and appreciated the footnotes in the Bible. May the Lord keep drawing her to come meeting next week.

Today three new students joined our outing, got to make good connections with each other, and they were very happy to be with us. We continued our time with the new ones this evening with dinner and singing. Some students told us they enjoyed the time so much and wanted to keep meeting with us. One of them prayed and thanked the Lord for this open home and all the saints.

Prayer burdens:

• Please pray that the Lord may keep growing in all the students, especially the new ones to make them solid gradually through proper shepherding.
• Please pray for all the Bible studies, college meetings at SSU and SRJC so the students can be nourished and captured by the Word.
• Please pray for the core students that nothing would hinder their growth in life to be functioning members to build up the Body of Christ.

Praise the Lord for His move on this earth! We feel that it is such a blessing and privilege to be able to participate in the gospel labor in Mississauga. On Thursday and Friday, we had our last two welcome tables on the UTM campus. Our main focus this week was to set up appointments with our contacts, and to bring the local saints into the labor. To strengthen the threefold cord (especially the community saints), we had an open home meeting on Friday night and a Bible seminar on Saturday night. The turnout of students and local saints was quite extraordinary. Our prayer and aim is that our sowing these two weeks would result in a long term labor of the Body to shepherd the new ones and bear remaining fruit.

Over the course of laboring on the campus for the past two weeks, we realized that the campus has been saturated with tracts and Bibles. UTM is not a large university, with only about 12,000 students. We’ve passed out close to 8,000 tracts and 500 Bibles on campus these two weeks. This means that 2 out of every 3 students have received a tract, and 1 out of every 24 students have received a Bible! As a result, our daily Bible studies on campus have been filled with hungry and seeking students. This Saturday, we had a wonderful seminar on the Diving Romance in the Bible. There were many new students and also many returning ones from the last Bible seminar. At the end, the time for sharing was fully occupied by the new contacts! From their sharing, we could see that they’ve really gained something solid in their being. Praise the Lord! He can do above all that we ask or think.

These past days, we distributed roughly:

Tracts: 1,258
Bibles: 131
Contacted: 134
Prayed to receive the Lord: 0
Scheduled second appointments: 14
Regular appointments: 2

Prayer burdens:

• Please pray for the local saints in Mississauga with regards to following up in shepherding the new contacts.
• Please pray for five families and five remaining fruit in Mississauga by this Spring.

Praise the Lord for His move in Laval! The Lord blessed our final day of the gospel trip as we headed to the Metro stations with many of the saints for our final Bible distribution for the two week trip. We passed out 722 Bibles (532 French, 188 English, and 2 Spanish) and 1,470 tracts bringing the two week total to 3,338 Bibles (2479 French, 842 English, and 17 Spanish) and 8,893 tracts. Many seeds have been sown in the past two weeks and now we look to the Lord to cause the growth.

The Lord also poured out His blessing on the seminar on Saturday night. He brought 25 contacts who were open, hungry, and seeking! After some speaking on the Bible as the living word of God, we broke up into groups to enjoy John 17 together. It was a wonderful time of enjoying God’s word together and fellowshipping with one another. All of us, both new ones and saints, really enjoyed the time. One new one even said that “she was home.” Praise the Lord that He is drawing His seekers! We realize that the labor is far from over and will continue to keep Laval and the saints in Montreal in our prayers. Our hope and prayer is that one day there will be a bright shining lampstand in Laval! Praise the Lord that He is able!

Prayer burdens:

• That many saints would rise up to take care of the new contacts, especially the 32 who came to the Bible seminars.
• That some would be gained as remaining fruit for the Lord’s testimony in Laval.
• That the Lord would continue to draw His seekers in Laval and gain key homes in the area.

Because many have received Bibles these past two weeks, we spent the early afternoon enjoying the Lord together while packing Bibles. After the 500 French Bibles were packed, we headed to the Metro stations once again. Around 200 Bibles were distributed and over 1,000 tracts were given out. Many who had seen us from previous days or had previously received a tract from us, approached us to ask for a Bible or to get a Bible for a friend or family member. Praise the Lord that He is stirring up a hunger in Laval and that many are receiving His word!

The evening was spent in various home meetings in the English, Chinese, and French speaking districts. We had a very enjoyable time with the saints feasting on the Lord together. Saturday is the final Bible distribution for this GTCA trip and we pray that the Lord will really bless our time in the Metro stations and that many would come to the seminar in the evening.

Prayer burdens:

• That many open ones would be released to come to the Bible seminar Saturday night.
• That the Lord would bless the seminar with Himself and that many would enjoy the speaking.
• That many more hungry ones would receive a Bible at this trip’s final Bible distribution.
